Significado
When we refer to the body, we include the external gross body with its various limbs, as well as the mind, intelligence and ego. In old age these all become weak when they are attacked by different diseases. The proprietor of the body, the living soul, becomes very sad at not being able to use the field of activities properly. In Bhagavad-gītā it is clearly explained that the living entity is the proprietor of this body (kṣetra-jña) and that the body is the field of activities (kṣetra). When a field is overgrown with thorns and weeds, it becomes very difficult for the owner to work it. That is the position of the spirit soul when the body itself becomes a burden due to disease. Extra burdens are placed on the body in the form of anxiety and general deterioration of the bodily functions.
Cuando hablamos del cuerpo, nos referimos tanto al cuerpo denso externo, compuesto de diversos miembros, como a la mente, la inteligencia y el ego. En la vejez, todo ello se debilita ante el ataque de numerosas enfermedades. El propietario del cuerpo, el alma viviente, se apena profundamente al verse incapaz de emplear debidamente el campo de actividades. En el Bhagavad-gītā se explica claramente que la entidad viviente es el propietario del cuerpo (kṣetra-jña), y que el cuerpo es el campo de actividades (kṣetra). Cuando un campo se llena de espinos y de zarzas, a su propietario le resulta muy difícil trabajar en él. Esa es la situación del alma espiritual cuando las enfermedades convierten su cuerpo en una pesada carga. Además, el cuerpo recibe las cargas de la angustia y el deterioro general de las funciones corporales.
